Chocolate Chip Cookies

While my recipe is not an original there are a few things that I do that make my cookies a bit unique and a hit whenever I bring them somewhere. Or perhaps people are just super excited to see homemade cookies, but I'll share what I do.

I begin with Crisco's Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe that appeared on their Butter Flavored Crisco packages about 15 years ago. Then I add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of Brown and Jenkin's Cooking with Coffee. You can play with these amounts. Sometimes I use a teaspoon of one instead of both. When it calls for salt I use a sea salt that is a bit coarser than table salt. All these are added with the flour.

Additional Note: Do not serve these to children before bedtime... it just doesn't work. On a similar note they are a great pick-me-up during a 3 hour class!
